At our Adult School, we welcome students aged 16 and above and we have special welfare procedures for anyone under 18. These include weekly check-ins with our Welfare Manager to check that everything is ok. There are also rules about returning home if you are in homestay accommodation.

Please note that the Adult School is not a junior centre, so supervision is more limited and students must follow the extra procedures carefully.

Here is a summary of our Policy for Under-18s in the Adult School. You can read the full policy here.

You must attend all lessons and weekly welfare check-ins
You must follow school rules and any extra rules for under-18s
You must tell us your travel arrangements to Southampton from the airport, station or port
Some activities or venues are only for students aged 18 or over
You must not buy or drink alcohol as part of school activities or arrangements
If you stay in homestay, your curfew is 10.30pm Sunday to Thursday and 11.00pm Friday and Saturday, unless agreed otherwise in advance
If you are going to be late, you must contact your host straight away
If there is a problem with your attendance, welfare, behaviour or safety, we may contact your parent or guardian
The Adult School does not provide normal supervision outside lessons, weekly welfare check-ins and other arranged school activities
